Facts and practical information

The Church of St. Clare is a church in Chieti, located halfway down Via Arniense. It is a rettoria, that is, a church not the seat of a parish but nonetheless significant. Built beginning in the mid-17th century but actually decorated and enriched in the 18th and 19th centuries, it has a considerable amount of valuable Baroque stucco work, an organ by Adriano Fedri and some fairly valuable paintings. Its rector is Don Luigi Gentile.
